An open letter to the MP’s and Candidates of Wales

We have seen you come to the places of worship of the Muslims and use these places as a platform to encourage voting and participation in your democracy. We have seen you campaign on behalf of yourselves and your respective parties and use our mosques as a platform to further your own political goals. We are reminding you that you are not welcome in our mosques and demand that you stop these activities and stop using our places of worship as a platform for your own interests.

Allah Almighty has stated in the Glorious Quran that sovereignty belongs to Him alone. Thus only Allah Almighty has the right to legislate and enact laws for mankind. Allah the Almighty says in the Quran:

“And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the disbelievers.” (Qur’an: Surah 5, Verse 44)

“And judge, [O Muhammad], between them by what Allah has revealed…” (Qur’an: Surah 5, Verse 49)

“The Hukm (judgment) is for none but Allâh. He has commanded that you worship none but Him, that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not.” (Qur’an: Surah 12, Verse 40)

Democracy is a religion unto itself. It is a religion other than Islam. This is because it takes sovereignty away from Allah Almighty, and violates His right to be the sole Legislator, and places it into the hands of men. Therefore you place man on an equal pedestal to Allah Almighty and you accept to be worshipped in his place.

We do not want you entering our Mosques and asking us Muslims to violate Allah’s right to be the sole legislator. We do not want you to encourage us to vote in this system of unbelief, which challenges the right of our Lord. It is only He who legislates and what you do is a directly challenge his Divine Law (Shariah), A Law revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him).

Furthermore, we invite you to Islam and if you become a Muslim you will be safe from the Hellfire, and Allah will reward you for guiding your people to the truth. If you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your people. And I recite to you Allah’s statement:

“O People of the Scriptures! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah). (Qur’an: Surah 3, Ayah 64).
